Aqua and Green Apple Cupcakes

I did these cupcakes recently for a baby shower that was aqua and green apple colors to match the new baby's nursery.  They wanted something simple and they turned out really cute!

One note though, they weren't completely thrilled about the idea of fondant.  They said, "Fondant always tastes bad."  Well, I am here to tell you it doesn't always have to!!  Some store-bought fondant does have a bitter taste.  Bakeries use the pre-made kind to save time, it is VERY time consuming to make it from scratch.  BUT, it tastes wonderful when you do!  I always try to use my own fondant when I need to use it for decorations and accents.  (They loved the fondant after they tried it by the way!)

London Olympics

With the 2012 Olympics coming up, my niece decided to do her daughter's first birthday with an Olympics theme.  I didn't do the table here, just the cupcakes and cake.  She and her sister did the rest and when it all came together, it was very cute!

These two pics aren't great (I took them with my phone), but I may add more pics later when I ever get around to getting the good ones off of my camera (so what I am saying here is don't hold your breath!).

I know, I know....if you have ever asked me to make a cake, and I said "I don't make cakes", I am sorry!  I should say that I don't like to make big cakes and try to avoid it at all costs!!  I make exceptions now and then, and that is good for me, because it reminds me of the reasons why I should always tell people that "I don't make cakes". ☺
